The construction activity on the 33.5-km long Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 corridor, on Friday began at multiple places in the city such as Cuffe Parade, Azad Maidan, Science Museum Station, Vidya Nagari, Sahar Road and MIDC Station.


After completing the Topography survey and barricading – with on-ground Geo-Technical work in progress – this is considered a major step as far as Mumbai's first fully underground corridor is concerned. The construction activity includes piling for metro stations as well as ground preparation for Tunnel Boring Machine launching shaft.


Work on Mumbai

"This underground project is very challenging, especially because its running underground. Of course, we at MMRC are geared up with technology and latest equipment to meet all challenges", said SK Gupta, Director (Projects), MMRC.

The work of piling and excavation on the corridor began in all seven packages with a workforce of more than 500 of which more than 70 are expats contributing with their skill-sets to the project along with local engineers and co-workers.

Ashwini Bhide, Managing Director, MMRC, said, "We are committed to deliver quality and safety to Mumbaikars. Our effort will be to change the way Mumbaikars travel today."
